Be sure to tune into our next segment of "NEVER FORGET” on our Youtube channel with special guest, Kristina Moon. We will be paying Tribute to her husband FDNY FF Billy Moon Rescue 2 who died on Dec. 20, 2022. Billy was a 21 year veteran of the FDNY, and 28 year active member and former Chief of Dept- Islip Volunteer Dept. He succumbed to his injuries after a fall preparing for a training exercise in Rescue 2. He spent 20 years in L133 in South Jamaica. Kristina started the Billy Moon Foundation after being asked to speak at the rock. She realized that people believe in organ donation, but not enough are really talking about it. Now, not only do they speak and advocate around the country, but provide financial assistance to organ donor and recipient families for things like food, travel, lodging, even medication. Kristina donated Billy's organs and saved 5 lives- 2 retired members of the dept. One had 9/11 lung disease. ""Organ donation was the light in my darkest hours. Knowing that my husband would live on, even in his death, provided me a sense of peace through our family's tragedy. I have even built relationships with three of his five recipients; all of whom I now consider family." Nuff Said.... It’s going to be another great conversation. We will get the whole skinny.
